About: I am currently a third year veterinary nursing student with a passion for providing the best care to all pets. I have had my dog for almost 13 years and prior to that, we would dog sit for family friends going away. With my profession I am comfortable with caring for all kinds of pets including reptiles and rodents. I also have experience medicating a myriad of species so would be happy to assist with this if your pet(s) require anything throughout the day. Growing up I've volunteered and worked at a number of different kennels and catteries local to me and I have since been volunteering at a cat sanctuary for almost three years and love spending my free time with animals. I am a very active person with my favourite hobbies being walking and going to the gym so you can rest assured I would meet your pets exercise and enrichment needs to keep them happy and settled in your absence. My services include home boarding with your pets, walking, bathing, medicating, house visits and spending quality time with your pets in your absence. I’m currently working part time so my mornings and evenings are typically free on the days I work and I have the whole day free on my days off to spend with your fur-babies I’m comfortable keeping your pets as close to their typical routine as possible to keep them stress-free. I can walk and medicate at the same times of day and can regularly update you with pictures for piece of mind
“This was our first time using both Rover and Michael to look after our two dogs and home while we were away on holiday,and the service we received was great. From the initial first contact and home visit through to the personal handover on our return was just what we needed. We returned to happy dogs and a well looked after home.”
“What a lovely couple - really friendly, absolutely BRILLIANT with Diego! It was obvious to see he had a really great time and was chilled and happy! Thank you so much - will defnately book you again when I need a sitter and will recommend you to everyone!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of pets from a very young age and most recently owned a rabbit (Domino), who reached the grand age of 12. I have looked after many dogs over the years, including my sister's Cocker Spaniel, a friend's French Bulldog and a family who owned 5 dogs including Chihuahuas, a German Shepherd and a Staffie. I work full-time (Monday - Friday), 9am until 5pm. Most of my evenings and weekends are available. I am currently unable to have my own pet but will gladly help to look after everyone else's in the meantime. I currently have no pets at home, so your pet will get my full attention. I enjoy fluffy cuddles even if your pet has white fur and I'm all in black! I am more than happy to follow a routine you already have in place and appreciate every pet is has different needs
About: I have experience caring for Border Terriers, Jack Russels, Llasa Apso, and have worked as a dog groomer in the past. I am DBS checked. I welcome a meet-and-greet before the first booking so that you and your dog can get to know me. I currently work part-time from my own home so I am very flexible for drop-in visits throughout the week, offering daytime or/and evening slots. As the owner of an indoor cat, I am familiar with the needs of cats living in flats, from carefully checking window security to keeping litter trays spotless. I will treat your cat and home with respect, provide attentive and consistent care, and keep you updated throughout your time away. I am also happy to arrange an introductory meeting before your first booking, giving you and your cat the chance to get to know me. I look forward to meeting you and your cat and providing the caring, dependable support you both deserve.
About: Hi! I’m Elisabeth or Libby, I’m 19 years old and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring fora variety of breeds like Labradors, Staffies, and Scottish Terriers, and have been the main caregiver for my family and friends dogs for years. This has given me experience with different temperaments, exercise needs, and routines — from energetic walks and playtime to calmer companionship and daily care. I’m confident with basic animal first aid skills and experienced in spotting signs that a pet may be unwell or behaving differently from normal. Through caring for family pets, I’ve also had experience communicating with vets, including assisting during video consultations and carrying out checks such as inspecting teeth and gum health under veterinary guidance. I’m planning to study Animal Behaviour at undergraduate level in September, as working with and understanding animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m also respectful, reliable, and trustworthy when caring for pets in other people’s homes, making sure both your dog and your home are looked after carefully while you’re away. Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover currently taking some time before starting university in September after finishing college. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to looking after your pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special care instructions your pet needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own! Your pet’s safety, comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment for dog walking, daytime pet sitting, and overnight stays, either in my cosy one-bedroom seafront flat or within your own home where your pet feels most comfortable. Having recently finished college before starting university in September, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always aim to make owners feel confident and reassured while they’re away. I take pride in keeping both my own flat and clients’ homes clean, tidy, and well cared for at all times. During walks, I always prioritise safety by using secure leads, staying attentive to surroundings, and making sure pets are exercised responsibly and comfortably. Living by the seafront also allows me to offer enjoyable beachfront walks, giving dogs fresh air, exercise, and a calm environment to explore safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual health and wellbeing, ensuring they receive the care, affection, and attention they need to feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a peaceful environment by the sea, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after at all times.
“Catherine house sitted with our Freddie and was amazing. Shared pictures, videos and updates throughout. Really put us at ease as this was his first time with a non-family member.”
About: DBS CHECKED 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Maggie! 🐶❤️ I’ve recently moved from Bristol to Blackpool and I’m excited to meet lots of new four-legged friends in the area. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely believe they’re part of the family. Whether your dog loves a long walk on the beach, exploring Stanley Park, or simply having some company and cuddles at home, I’m happy to tailor the day around them and their personality. We’re also lucky enough to have our own lovely cockapoo, Basil! 🐾 Basil absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs, so he’s very happy to have a new friend around. However, as my partner and I live in a house with plenty of space, we can easily keep dogs separate when needed. This includes separate feeding times, walks and sleeping arrangements if your dog prefers their own space or you request it. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel daunting, so I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, cuddles and reassurance while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how they’re getting on. 📸❤️ Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures, a little nervous and needs extra patience, or is happiest curled up on the sofa, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to welcome your dog into our home and give them a fun, safe and loving stay! 🐕🌊🌳 I am currently working from home with a flexible working schedule from 9 or 10am until 4 or 5pm Monday-Friday, within higher education so will be available continuously in the evening and available intermittently throughout the working day. I am also available 24/7 on weekends! This means that your pet will always be supervised and will always have someone in the home with them to pamper and care for them. I offer boarding, house sitting and dog walking, offering boarding to one mid sized dog per time or two smaller dogs or cats. My dogs walks will be however long you request up to an hour or longer on weekends. I am happy to accept last minute bookings. I first started pet sitting in summer of 2022 and although I have not been pet sitting for too long, I have had so many lovely moments getting to know the pet as an individual and going on lovely walks with them all round just becoming a member of the family. I understand all animals are unique and would love to make sure you're pet is as comfortable as possible with me - to make sure this happens I would love to know what their normal routine is, what foods they like and don't like, if they like being around other dogs, like a cuddle ect - to try and give them as much normalcy as possible. As your pet will be a guest with us and on their own little holiday from home, we are happy for the pets to sleep wherever they would when at home normally, whether that be their own bed, on the sofa or just on the carpet! We will always have them be as comfortable as possible ❤️
About: I’ve had my cat since she was 8 weeks old—she’s now around 2 and a half, happy, healthy, and spoiled! Since joining Rover, I’ve also looked after a puppy named Reuben for about 6 weeks, and I’ve completed a few cat sitting jobs. I understand the care and attention pets need, and I’m always happy to help other pet owners feel at ease when they’re away. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work, so I’m fully available for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and like to keep busy with side hustles and helping out other pet owners. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine right now. I live in a spacious ground floor flat with a small shared garden. It’s very cat-friendly with toys, a cat tower, and cozy spots to relax. My cat enjoys going out on nice days and always comes back home safely. Pets are welcome on the sofa and bed—just like my own! I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for animals.
“Georgia, looked after my cat George again yesterday and again like last time she was amazing! Keep me informed throughout the whole time via messages and video. Was so understanding with his needs. Thank you Georgia for all your help 😻x”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Blackpool
Lily & George have been FANTASTIC! We highly recommend!! They came to stay with Riddick whilst we were away getting married! From the get go they have been fab to communicate with and came to meet us for a walk before the initial booking to ensure we were comfortable and most importantly ensure Riddick was. Lily & George kept us updated throughout the week with photos and messages! They even kindly collected the order of Riddicks food for us as we had embarrassingly miscounted and ran out! On our return the house was immaculate and Riddick looked great!!! He was certainly one happy dog after being looked after so well! Not only that Lily & George went above and beyond and even bought us a wedding gift which we were totally surprised and touched by! Thank you so so much to you both… we will definitely book with you again xx

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blackpool on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Blackpool walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blackpool choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
